In response to the re-victimization by Steam management on January 14, 2024 (issuing restrictions against my account when I was already being attacked by well over 50 users from one Steam thread since October of 2023 and is still ongoing), I have decided to negate all voluntary information (outside of this summary) from my Steam profile in protest of their decision to support this harassment & penalize a victim of it.

Additionally, this has made the determination for me that Steam is no longer a trustworthy company to be purchasing from, so no further purchases will be made on Steam over ANY of my accounts (this now also includes purchases in F2P games using the Steam API, as I did a couple of times in Warframe before this happened, purchases now being done directly through the official game sites instead), as well as clearing my wishlists of stuff I knew I wouldn't be purchasing on Steam. Any money that would have been going into Steam is now instead going primarily into GOG & Nintendo Switch.

This has also resulted in any Steam-exclusives to be blacklisted from being streamed to my Twitch channel. Steam-owned games may still be streamed provided they are not Steam-exclusives, but I will no longer provide links that may result in a purchase of the game on Steam. Steam activation keys were also wiped from the StreamElements shop for my Twitch channel as I do not want to provide incentives for people to come to a platform I am no longer willing to purchase from myself.

Any further use of Steam will only be for use of the games I already own (provided I can get an OS that meets the new requirements at no charge; Steam may still be running on Windows 7, but under their own claims, I can't expect it to stay that way); as opposed to past boycotts against Steam, unowned DLC for owned games will NOT be an exception to purchase them this time around. Public community functions on Steam are now dead to me also (removing myself from a number of the groups I was in, particularly official Steam groups).

At this point the only way I can even start to consider purchasing from Steam again is if EVERY account in that thread where this targeted harassment started in October of 2023 that has been listed with at least 4 backed up harassment posts on the Steam Troll blacklist on my personal site (in addition to the new impersonation account used in the Feb. 8th attack) receives a community ban (until then, my business is going to other sites with no consideration to put another cent into Steam).
